  View original topic: Stock length of front trailing arms?
kozaz Mon Feb 14, 2005 8:29 pm

Trying to figure out if my front trailing arms are stock or longer, See pic for length measurement I'm looking for. The arms in the pic are not mine just for reference.

Thanks,

My front arms are 2.5 over and they measure appx 8.25 inches

Common sense would tell me that they are "over arms". It would be kinda senseless to buy/build stock sized custom arms. My guess is you will find they are defiantely longer, and quite possibly wider. Maybe Desertdog can give you a measurement for width as well.

those arms look huge. assuming they use stock shock geometry like most aftermarket arms, i would say they are 4" over. maybe to help us, are they for coilover shocks, or torsion leaves?

compare tweeds arms for reference:

4" over arms



2.25" over arms

They are not my arms, what I'm looking for is the measurements of the stock arms so I can figure out what I currently have on my car.

therefore, stock is about 5.75"

Width, mine measure 5" from the grease seal flange to the outside edge of the link pin clamp.
